Dr Allinson says CoMin was guided by data
Education Minister Dr Alex Allinson has defended the timing of the decision to enter the last lockdown in early March.
He was appearing before Tynwald's Social Affairs Policy Review Committee.
The chair, Onchan MHK Julie Edge, questioned why the lockdown wasn't announced on Saturday 27 February when people were urged to cancel events and stay at home.
Dr Allinson says not enough data was known at that time:
"Substantial progress" made on design of new Castle Rushen High School, says minister
But MHK criticises pace of progress on Castletown site
Brief lapse in concentration can cause a serious or fatal collision, say police
Fines up to £5,000 for driving carelessly
No impact assessment carried out ahead of minimum wage decision
Less than 60 people responded to a survey
Douglas Coastguard aid overnight medical transfer
Patient transported by helicopter 936 from Caernarvon
Treasury 'still negotiating' backup options for MiCard users with no bank account
Service is due to be switched off at the end of the year
